In his youth he played baseball with teammates Maurice Jr. and Normand Richard (Maurice Richard's sons) with the Braves d’Ahuntsic. When winter came, he switched to a goalie outfit with which he would be drafted with the Drummondville Rangers in the beginnings of the LHJMQ.

On television, he was an intermission analyst on La Soirée du hockey (Hockey Night) on Radio-Canada. As a radio announcer he is mostly known for saying Pas pire, pas pire, pas pire (Not bad, not bad, not bad) and some would nickname him the French-Canadian Don Cherry [1] Other involvementsRon Fournier also gives conferences on leadership and motivation.
